How to use Favicon Generator
Steps
- Upload a square or near-square source image.
- Generate the standard favicon sizes and ICO file.
- Review the preview at small sizes.
- Download the ZIP and copy the provided HTML tags into your site head.
Example use case
A 512 x 512 PNG logo can be exported into 16, 32, 180, 192, and 512 px favicon assets for browser tabs and home screen icons.
Settings explained
- Source image shape affects how readable the favicon is at 16 px.
- ICO output is useful for older browser compatibility.
- PNG sizes are useful for modern browsers, PWA manifests, and mobile icons.
Limitations
- Detailed logos may be unreadable at very small sizes.
- Transparent padding around a logo can make the favicon appear too small.
- Browser caching can delay favicon changes after deployment.
Troubleshooting
- If the icon looks tiny, crop extra transparent padding before generating.
- If the tab still shows the old icon, clear cache or change the icon file URL.
- If text is unreadable, use a simpler mark for small favicon sizes.
